rogue_blade Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 What was the aftermath of this? Pilot error? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Looks like low-speed followed by excessive flare, which would mean pilot error.

rogue_blade Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I thought the flare was his attempt to abort and climb. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Could be, and might have worked if it was done half a second earlier if that is the case. Would be interesting to know if there were any failures causing troubles for him - for example inability to keep speed up due to engine problems or something like that.

zakobi Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I remember something with that you got less than 2 minutes to land if doing it vertical due to the amount of coolant. Add the hotter climate we might give better guesses regarding machine failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's 90 seconds of hover. This does not apply though unless this immediately followed a failed hover landing (unlikely to even try something as dangerous as a hover landing in that place since they have a perfectly good runway). A failed hover landing that causes damage would most likely occur from sucking in exhaust air, though, not anything related to the coolant, and usually the result would be the plane imitating a helicopter in rotor vortex ring. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
